    The term “scope creep” comes up a lot, but to be honest that’s not happening here.

    They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

    The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

    Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

      The scope that exists is whatever nitpicking detail Chris Roberts is focusing on at any given moment. That blanket? Not enough physics. Water bottles have to have a glossy realistic shine. Server meshing…? But what about the coffee mugs?!

      It’s the fucking worst.

    The same situation is was when it was conceived. Chris Roberts sucks at finishing a game and releasing it. Fuck him and he should be sued in a class action lawsuit.

      Can I kindly introduce you to an old games industry expo called E3? It’s not hard to make something look good in a controlled environment.
